A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL:
Principal, Jenny Hynek
| |
|
Happy New Year! We hope the holiday break is full of rest, relaxation, and fun for our students and families.
In January, it will be great to be back with our students and into school routines. Transitioning back to school-day routines is always easier when home and school are sending the same message to students. Please be mindful of re-establishing the necessary routines at home and ensure that your student(s) are in attendance and on time each morning. This is the first step to a very successful day and high achievement.
Cold winter weather is certainly here to stay for a while. Please help your student be prepared for any weather with appropriate clothing for outdoor recess. Recesses are outside unless the air temperature and/or windchill is below zero. If you need assistance with winter clothing for your student(s), please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Pineview office staff or me.
Let’s start 2024 The Beaver Way: BE SAFE, BE KIND, BE RESPONSIBLE!
Expecting Excellence,
Mrs. Hynek

Happy New Year, Pineview families! My name is Jenny (Sorom) Hynek, and I am thrilled to be serving as Pineview Principal. I was born, raised, and educated in Reedsburg. I am a 1989 graduate of Webb High School and have a Bachelor’s degree from Luther College. I earned a Master's degree from Viterbo University. The 2023-2024 school year marks my 30th year in public education. My roles have included working with at-risk students, teaching second grade, and, most recently, instructional coaching. I spent many years as a second-grade teacher and teacher-in-charge at Ironton-LaValle Elementary School in LaValle, but I also taught at South and Westside Elementary Schools. I have enjoyed the past six years as an instructional coach for all of Reedsburg’s 4K-2 elementary schools.
My husband Steve and I live in Hillsboro. We have three sons. Thomas is in his second year at UW-Madison, Jack is in the second year of a plumbing apprenticeship, and our youngest son, Sam, is a junior at Hillsboro High School.
I look forward to meeting you and serving, teaching, and learning with your children and your family.
Expecting Excellence,
Jenny Hynek

The weather is turning colder, and we would like to remind families to please be sure to send your child to school with the appropriate winter gear. Students are expected to go outside for recess unless it is raining or if the temperature is zero degrees or less, with the wind chill factored in.
If there is snow on the ground, students should have snow pants and boots in order to play in the snow; otherwise, they will need to remain on the blacktop area of the playground.
If you are in need of assistance in obtaining winter gear for your child, please contact the school office, and we can help you out.

Dear Parents,
Schools are successful when they help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. For this to happen, it is important that we have a safe environment that is supportive and conducive for growth. By setting forth clear social and behavioral expectations and directly teaching students about those expectations, it is our goal to continue to have a positive atmosphere for optimal learning. We are excited to inform our families that Pineview and Westside Elementary School are participating in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a school-wide system that includes proactive strategies for teaching, modeling, and reinforcing appropriate student behavior. We are using this program to help our students have a safe, positive learning environment and to provide consistency in all areas of our schools.
We have adopted a unified set of behavioral expectations. You will see these expectations posted throughout the schools, and your child will be learning them during the first weeks of school. Our unified classroom rules will be found in every classroom and in non-classroom settings in the school. The behavioral expectations are as follows:
“ Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible"

The Community Learning Center (CLC) after-school program at Pineview Elementary School has openings. This is a free program.
CLC after-school program helps students improve their academic skills, healthily deal with their emotions, improve their self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. CLC provides fun enrichment activities that the students love to engage in. Students receive a snack, have a little recess, homework help or tutoring for 30 minutes, and then two 45 minutes of enrichment activities. This is a great time for children to make friends.
To learn more, please contact Allyson Cummings at acummings@rsd.k12.wi.us or (608) 768-8932 Ext. 2353.

Fact Fluency
Fact fluency is bigger than memorizing facts. In the earliest years of learning, Fact Fluency is focused on students being accurate with their computation. Getting the correct answer through flexible use of strategies is emphasized over getting an answer quickly. Once students have become flexible with their mathematical thinking, the focus shifts a bit to efficiency or speed. An accurate, flexible, and efficient mathematician is the goal. What does this mean? Students need to focus on taking their time to be accurate and not focus on being the fastest. Take a look at Graham Fletcher’s video for a deeper explanation.
